Hi Kalpana, that's a good question! I've never tried it so I can't say for sure, but it's a varietal of long-grain rice, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would certainly make for a colorful dosa! Let me know how it goes if you end up trying it out!

Hi Phoebe, that's up to you. Some people prefer organic products because less chemicals are used in their production. It won't really effect the taste of the rice.

Hi Deb, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. I'm not familiar with how a JJ Microwave steamer works, so it's possible the this recipe (which is meant to be done on the stove) will not work. As for the water, it will have some nutrients, but whether you drink it or not is up to you.

Good question! It looks like both are trademarked terms, but Riceberry is trademarked by a public university in Thailand (i.e. the Thai government) while jasberry is trademarked by a company. It could be that the producers of jasberry didn't want to pay licensing fees to sell their rice under the Riceberry name, or they came up with a new hybrid (I couldn't find any info on what the exact hybrid is).

What is the difference between riceberry and jasberry rice?
Thank you,
Jonathan Kutler
